Mitt Romney is suspending his campaign for the good of America.  He’s doing us a favor by dropping out of the race for the president.

Well, I am definitely happy to see him go, but I’m amazed at his temerity for pretending that its out of a sense of patriotism that he’s quitting the race.  Don’t do me any favors, Mitt.

What a schmuck.

LA Times review of the Hannah Montana movie   :!:

A memo to Disney, re: Hannah Montana nonsense | Tech news blog - CNET News.com

My daughter, Chloe and my wife talked me in to taking her to the Hannah Montana concert-movie. Yes, its a movie of a concert. Sure, I can see making a feature length film of a concert (pink floyd, The Who, The rolling stones - you know, bands who put on a Show with a capital “S”) but I have trouble understanding charging the prices they’ve been charging. Sure, its a 3-D movie - but there’s got to be more to it than that. I think it has to be because they have a money machine in Mylie Cyrus.

I understand that it made $31 million - MUCH more than Disney expected, so now they have decided to increase the run at some theaters. See, it was scheduled to run for ONLY one week, so there was a feeding frenzy amongst the pre-teen girls across the country to get in to see it. My daughter, an expert manipulator, talked me in to taking her.

Not just her, though.

(This demonstrates how good she really is)

Her friend too. Her friend is moving to North Carolina in the next couple of months so she will probably never see her again. So I agreed to bring the friend too.

Can you believe what a push-over I have become?

2 things

Neither are earth shattering.

 

  1. got a couple of new house plants for my cube.  One is called a Prayer Plant and the other is like a philodendron except that it has white near the center of the leaves.
  2. Apparently this video of one of Barrack Obama’s speeches set to music has become “viral” and is sweeping the internets.  I have to confess that I dig it.
    I also like Barack Obama but the music and “lyrics” and even the video is pretty good.

Breakfast: Why And What To Eat

I would like to lose some weight but have always been tripped up by breakfast.  I’ve never been able to settle on a good breakfast that tastes good and holds me over.  I’m still warming to the idea that eating a solid breakfast in the morning will help with the rest of the day.
